Goda Masala is distinctive, very aromatic, blackish in color mixture of spice powder with a pack of punch. Goda masala has a unique flavour and composition that is unmatched with any other combination of spices. A spoon of Goda masala added to any vegetarian dish, adds extra delicacy to the whole dish.
As you know by now, spices are at the heart of Indian cooking! The perfect blend of spices gives Indian food its subtle magical flavours, aromas, and texture in making it exceptionally scrumptious, and exotic. One such recipe always close to my heart is Gavaar chi bhaji (Maharashtrian style cluster bean curry).
